A Cross to Bear

It’s doubtful that anyone has noticed, but I’ve removed all donation links to the American Red Cross from this site for the time being. This has everything to do with the recent call center scandal coupled with an inept response to Katrina. Don’t get me wrong, the American Red Cross has done wonderful work in the past and I’m sure they will continue to do so, but they need to get their house in order in a big hurry. When faced with operational ineptitude in crisis coupled with clear cut corruption, what other conclusion can a reasonable person come to? I hope to see a change in that organization’s operational structure in the coming weeks along with a clear plan for reform. Not that my input matters, but when that happens, I’ll eagerly resume my support.
